As far as the answer, if you can qualify him as a "surprise" I'd say Jacoby Ford. He's been getting some love lately but he's certainly not getting a roster spot over any one of Decker, Kerley, Nelson, or Hill. Factor in another 3 Idzik draft picks and he's going to have to be a (relative) world-beater (and a healthy one at that) to make this roster. Kick return prowess alone isn't going to do the trick.

Yeah, I said this during the draft. Jalen Saunders is basically the same guy as Ford, will they see a need to carry two 5'9" speedsters? I do think they'll carry six WRs, though.

Wilson's in the last year of his deal, and seeing how Idzik works I have little doubt he'd much rather keep Wilson around to get a comp pick for the guy. As much of a disappointment as he may be to the Jets, he's still good enough (and CB play throughout the league bad enough) to get signed next offseason.

Besides, you can't count on Patterson staying healthy and Wilson's the only other guy in that group with any significant experience.

This is what I think, too. Wilson is a competent nickel, for all the sh*t he gets here, and the Jets still have questions that need to be answered as far as who'll emerge as the starter opposite Milliner. He's not expensive to carry, and he's decent depth. And there is a real possibility that he'd be good for a late comp pick, too.

Goodness gracious, and you guys wonder why I speak mostly in gifs these days.

Boring coversation we've had a thousand times before but he's consistently rated out as one of the best nickel corners in the game.

Either way, I dont know what is so ridiculous about calling him the only reliable corner on the team. Sure, Milliner looked great that last month but he's still a question mark. Patterson is an egg shell back there. McDougle is a rookie. Walls and Dowling surely arent reliable.

Wilson has at least manned the #2 spot when Revis went out and did it well enough to have one of the best D's vs. the pass in the league.

So yeah, he's not going to get cut because he's the only reliable corner on the team.

Dont see a scenario where Wilson is cut. He's the only reliable corner on the team right now.

I'm not sure if any of these are a surprise but I could see Jacoby Ford, Jaiqwan Jarrett and Matt Simms all getting cut.

Matt Simms because he sucks and Taj Boyd is better.

Jaiqwan Jarrett because he's the odd man out.

Jacoby Ford I just dont see his place on the team. He's already WR#5 (behind Decker, Hill, Nelson, Kerley) and Saunders is pretty much going to be the retuner battling with Evans for WR#5. Ford doesnt contribue anything other than return and some WR which I dont think he'll win over the rookies.

Tommy Bohanon could be cut. This kid Chad Young from SDSU can also catch, not only is he an extremely good blocker but he lays the wood on potential tacklers. Bohanon, though a very good pass catcher out of the backfield has been reported as being "terrible" last year in pass blocking. If Chad Young can show that he can keep defenders out of the face of Geno and slip out for the pass as well as eliminating the first defender attempting to tackle the running back then Tommy Bohanon will be looking for another gig elsewhere. Check out his highlight tape. Dude is a man amongst boys, and he's a threat to run the ball and pick up yards up the gut. He also wears #40, which he does also look a lot like Mike Alstott with his pads.

Don't wish it was easier, wish you were better. Easy never got you anywhere.
